Simple Container without Inheritance

DIGG IT! 1 Comments Published Wednesday, June 04, 2003 at 9:29 AM .

Every once in a while I want a container with no inheritance and with no properties hidden or otherwise. This does the trick.

  Container = function(){
    this.__proto__ = undefined
    delete this.constructor
    delete this.__constructor__
  }

  t = new Container()

It seems that you can modify the inheritance chain by setting this.__proto__ within the constructor. In this case it is set to undefined to provide a block of memory to store information without inheritance.
